Our promise to you

  • We are happy to respond to any questions, please use the button in the right top corner for this.
  • We respect the safe harbour clause that you can find below.

Your promise to us

  • Provide detailed but to-the point reproduction steps
  • Include a clear attack scenario. How will this affect us / our users exactly?
  • Remember: quality over quantity!
  • Please do not discuss or post vulnerabilities without our consent (including PoC's on YouTube and Vimeo)
  • Please do not use automatic scanners - be creative and do it yourself! We cannot accept any submissions found by using automatic scanners. Scanners also won't improve your skills, and can cause a high server load (we'd like to put our time in thanking researchers rather than blocking their IP's ๐Ÿ˜‰)

Our institutional website. We're looking for issues that could impact our image and our users (defacement, XSS, etc.)

Tier 3
Wildcard

We are willing to give bonuses on anything you find and we agree is impactful, in the rest of our domain. Please note that third party services are out of scope unless the issue is caused due to a misconfiguration by Uphold.

In scope

IMPORTANT: Please only perform service degradation attacks or horizontal privilege attacks on the Sandbox URLs

We've done our best to clean most of our known issues and now would like to request your help to spot the ones we missed!

We are specifically looking for;

  • Leaking of large quantities of personal data - if you can find a way to expose bulk quantities of data, we want to know about it.

  • Horizontal privilege escalation i.e breaking into someone else's wallet. This should only be attempted in the Sandbox environment.

    • This includes being able to see another users details, transactions, balances and the like.
  • Specifically related to our trading business, we want to know if you're able to "create money", duplicate transactions or receive more funds into your wallet than are transferred. Any kind of issue which would negatively affect the balance sheet.

Our โ€˜Unicornโ€™ Bounty Bonus Program

At Uphold, we want to ensure that researchers are fairly compensated for their hard work in securing our organisation. As such, for truly exceptional vulnerabilities or vulnerabilities that would cause significant operational or reputational damage, we are willing to offer a discretionary bonus up to โ‚ฌ25000 depending on our internal assessment of the vulnerability severity.

Out of scope

Disclaimer

Please note that we are unable to issue rewards to jurisdictions where the Uphold platform is not generally made available to users. A list of unsupported jurisdictions is available here.

General

  • In case that a reported vulnerability was already known to the company from their own tests, it will be flagged as a duplicate
  • Theoretical security issues with no realistic exploit scenario(s) or attack surfaces, or issues that would require complex end user interactions to be exploited
  • Spam, social engineering and physical intrusion
  • DoS/DDoS attacks or brute force attacks
  • Vulnerabilities that only work on software that no longer receive security updates
  • Broken links on old blog posts / content that is expected to age and that Uphold has no control over (e.g., third-party domains)
  • Attacks requiring physical access to a victim's computer/device, man in the middle or compromised user accounts
  • Recently discovered zero-day vulnerabilities found in in-scope assets within 14 days after the public release of a patch or mitigation may be reported, but are usually not eligible for a bounty
  • Reports that state that software is out of date/vulnerable without a proof-of-concept

AWS Specific

  • Publically readable S3 buckets. We have a selection of our S3 buckets available to the Internet as caches for our website and other public resources - UNLESS it is clear that the information should not be public, i.e. personal data, company confidential files and such. Please log a ticket if you're not sure with examples of the folder structure (do not download the data).
